has not an ounce of silver in stock ex
cept what is held by government. If
we were to assimilate bullion in order
to issue certificates on it, we should
simply prevent so much gold from COM
ing to US, as we receive gold for our ex-
ported silver. The starting of silver would
be contraction of the money market.
Then again, If we list these new certif-
Gates and create a fictitious or specu-
lative market for it, we are likely to
send up the price of silver as we do
wheat. In that Ca e England and other
foreign countries would retain the silver
there held and take away gold in ex-
change. They would be only too glad
to saddle US with their silver. We need
gold, and do not need silver. It is OF
little importance to Us. except as we
can find foreign market for it, and so
we oppose the listing OF the new silver
certificates"

LIFE IN THE PENITENfIARY.


A Correspondents Reflections After q
Visit to the Inmates of Sing Sing.
Think what it is TO enter those walls and
face that clock, whose slow pendulum shall
beat out-not seconds minutes, hours, days,
weeks or months-but years OF your precious
youth and manhood before you again see the
world which has discarded you'll Think of
the unrelieved round of toll, succeeded by
the solitary cell and miserable hours Of think
ing what might have been and what Isl How
slow the hours TO him without hope, without
profit in his bitter toll, without comfort In
bis solitude, without honor, without respect,
without liberty How slow the days make
the week, and the weeks the month, where
each Is drearily the same, season in and
season out, till the doleful year is toldl
To be the companion of the vilest, cheek by
1owl; TO wear the garb OF infamy; to be
driven from the cell to labor and from the
labor to the cell; to see on all sides the high
walls and the redoubts, where CLEAN the
rifles ready to kill the insurgent; to know
that however skillfully the escape is planned,
however bravely executed, there are keen
scented and lynx eyed pursuers to track and
the strong arm of the law TO recover; TO feel
that by no power can relief come until the
long distant day appointed, save the power
which can bless an unhappy life by ending it.
What record of hopelessness, of despair,
remorse and gnawing misery the pitiless stone
OF those cells could tell Small wonder that
after years of confinement every kindly trait
Of nature is withered, root and branch, and
only sullen desperation and hatred of society
remain.
Look at their faces to read their story. Not
one in hundred not the face Of shame, Of
unhappiness, Of stolid resignation to insvita-
BILE privation and disgrace See that long
line of gray misery marching to its MONDAY
meal-a human centipede-a hundred locked
together-shuffie, shuttle, shuttle, shuffie-the
very step is degradation. Slowly they file
into the cherries room, and in silence and
with bowed head each sits to devour his por-
ton Not a word, not a whisper, all wants
expressed by signs Long lines of keepers,
each coldly and keenly watchful, each ready
with pistol to suppress the slightest token of
revolt, for this is the time of danger in a
state prison. The meal is soon over. At q
beckon they arise and lock together-shuffie,
shuttle, shuttle, shuff1e-back TO labor again.

SENATOR Don CAMERON, who dashed
Blaine's hopes in the Cincinnati conven-
ton of 1875, has lately minated that he
will not serve under the banner of the
Plumed knight. If Don Cameron has
set bis face against Blsine's candidacy,
the vehement discussion now enlivening
the press is waste of words. Like his
father, Don Cameron knows how to win
Pennsylvania to any policy he sets his
mind on. There have been hints that the
political forces of the state were divided
between the younger Cameron and Sena,
tor Quay. ANY one well informed in the
affairs of the Keystone state will smile at
this innocent delusiOn. If Don Cameron
sends out the clan signal there will not be

TRENHOLM ON THE BANKS.
Condition of Their Capital and Suggestions
for Legislation,


for Legislation.
WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. 2.-The annual
report of the comptroller of the currency
shows that the total number OF national
banks organized up to Oct. 81, 1887, is 8, sos
of which CPS have gone into voluntary
liquidation, and l19 have failed, leaving in
operation at that time S, O61. The total number
of new banks formed during last years. 225;
the total number closed during the year is
thirty three, of which twenty five went into
voluntary liquidation aud eight failed The
new banks comprise five in New England,
thirty three in the middle states, fifty in the
southern states, lU7 in the central states and
thirty in the western states and territories
OF the failed banks one was in New England,
two in the middle states, four in the southern
states and one in the central states
The gross increase in national bank capital
during the year amounts to $50 S9i, rs of
which S, Sis, COS represents an increase of
capital OF banks existing Nov. 1, 1856 There
has BEEN however a decrease of capital Of
ST, 322, $50, of which 81, 0S7, $50 is the aggre-
gats capital of the thirty three banks which
went into voluntary liquidation and failed,
and the remainder represents decrease of
capital by banks still in operation. The net
increase of capital for the year is, therefore,
$50, 81, 325. On the other hand, there is q
net decrease of So, 49j, SO in the circulation
represented by bonds The decrease result
ing from the surrender of circulation hy
banks still in operation is S5i no, 450, and
the decrease caused by banks going into vol

sists OF an increase by the formation o. new
banks OF g., 81, $50 and all increase of Gil Gu
lation by previously existing banks to the
amount of S:i,p17, rs.
Very full statistics have been collected
about the state banks. savings banks loan
and trust companies, and private banks and
bankers throughout the country. The sug-
gestions made by Comptroller Trenholm az
to amendments to the laws are in the form of
code revising and consolidating all existing
laws, with a number of changes, each of
which is fully explained and the reasons for
it are set forth at considerable length. The
most important of the changes recommended
is that The minimum amount of bonds to be
deposited as surety for circulation shall be 10
per cent of the capital of banks of not owe,
$3.50, 600 capital and 81, 900 for banks of
which the capital exceeds $50, 900; also.
that the semi-annual duty on circula-
ton be hereafter charged only on the amount
issued upon bonds deposited in excess of
the minimum amount as above He also re-
commens that national bank notes be
counted as part Of the lawful reserve of
banks. The existing provisions of law as to

THE sudden appearance of abundant
water at various points in the state where
not drop of rain has fallen is exciting
good deal of interest. The latest phe-
nomenon of this sort occurred the other
day near Champaign. A 40foot well
that had been dry and abandoned nearly
all summer, suddenly filled full of pure,
living water to within three feet of the
surface The ssngamon river, in the same
neighborhood, about the same time, began
to run with water at point that three
days previously was entirely dry. The
wonderful spring which amazed the whole
country about week since By bursting
out in field, near Rising station, five
miles from Champaign, being damned up
has formed a large reservoir. from which
water is being hauled in all directions.
An old forsaken well, regarded as worth>
less. near Mattoon, has recently been
found filled to near the surface, and the
Illinois Central company is taking large
quantities of water from it.

the next topic, and was very cleverly
handled by Mrs. Clara Hoffman, of Missouri,
who claimed in well-written paper that
high license was a step toward perdition and
away from prohibition.
A recess was taken at noon until Q p M,
and upon reassembling the debate was con-
tinued on the proposition that Prohibition
was the true solution of the southern ques-
ton. In the course of this debate Mr.. Gran
fills, of Texas said he had one use for the
"bloody ehasm," and that was to bury the
Republican and Democratic parties in it.
Mrs NJ. A. Woodbridge, of Ohio, urged the
necessity of Prohbitionists advocating
woman suffrage, as then they would obtain
voters who would vote right. Miss Willard
also spoke on this subject.
